I am working at the county extension office and we had a lady donated her sewing machine, 3 large trash bags of fabric, couple shoe boxes of button, zippers, lace and everything else you could think of. The sewing machine is a Bernina 800. I think it was made in the 70's. Anywho, my wonderful co-workers decided that I needed to have it. SO I GOT AN AMAZING BERNINA SEWING MACHINE FOR FREE!!!

It is in great condition. She has taken really good care of it. I have been talking to my co-workers about my sudden desire to sew, so THANK YOU SO MUCH ANDI & DEB for letting me give it a good home! I'm so excited to start sewing again.

Brad & I had such a great week/weekend with our families. I was so excited to spend time with both of them.

She ate it... oops Usually for me(Bradford), around March/April, I get spring fever and I need some change. It all started with working in Alaska. Around this time I would usually zone out of whatever else I was doing and concentrate on getting ready for Alaska. So this year we have made the unfortunate decision to not go to AK, so we were itching for some change. So, we decided to get a puppy. We went to PetSmart and they said that the Humane Society comes on Saturdays. As is usual with Rach and I, once we make a decision we get it done quick. So that weekend we found Chena. She is a Yellow Lab/Golden Retriever mix. She was 6 months old when we adopted her. She and her siblings were found on the side of the highway abandoned. We named her Chena after a river in Alaska. Our second choice was Nuchalawaya (inside joke). We a…
